Prosecutor Details Rape That Lasted 19 Hours

[Death Angel]

The time crept by so slowly and painfully that the 23-year-old Columbia University journalism student had decided it was time to end her life.

Over many torturous hours, she had been repeatedly raped, sodomized and forced to perform oral sex, a prosecutor told a jury on Thursday. The accused, Robert A. Williams, 31, had doused the woman's face and body with boiling water and bleach, forced her to swallow handfuls of pills and to chase them with beer, sealed her mouth with glue, and bound her wrists and legs with shoelaces, cords and duct tape, said the prosecutor, Ann P. Prunty. And now, Ms. Prunty said, he was asking the woman to gouge out her own eyes with a pair of scissors.

And so the woman, sitting on the floor of her studio apartment in Hamilton Heights and holding a pair of scissors between her knees — the blade pointing toward her face — tried to stop the suffering. She lowered her face to the blade, but turned her head at the last moment, trying to stab herself in the neck instead of her eyes.

The scissors slipped from her grasp, the suicide attempt failed, and the woman suffered several more hours of torture, Ms. Prunty said.

Why is a trail even necessary? In this case why?

[SqueakyClean]

Eye for an eye.

[Nell]

Yeah, but that would involve touching this guy, and I don't wanna. His crazy cooties may jump on me!

We can drop him in an abandoned well and drop the boiling water and bleach from there. And scorpions, and rattlesnakes, and...

Before we throw him in the well I would like it if someone gave him thousands of papercuts over every inch of his body.

I can't imagine living through such a horror. Even being on the jury would cause post-traumatic stress disorder. I wonder if they had puke buckets strategically placed around the court room.

And douse him with rubbing alcohol, right?

Monster gets 422 years for 19-hour rape and torture of Columbia student

Calling the sex-torture of a Columbia student an "extraordinary evil," an angry judge Thursday sent the sadistic rapist to jail for 422 years - and said he deserved more.

The remorseless rapist, who had to be forcibly dragged into court, showed no emotion, sitting shackled at the defense table, his hands draped in protective mitts to prevent him from scratching anyone.

While Williams can become eligible for parole in 50 years, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Carol Berkman said "the parole board should be aware that this is an extremely dangerous man, who has no regard for the safety or welfare of others or for any legal rule."

Defense lawyer Arnold Levine argued that Williams was "psychotic" and pleaded with the judge for mercy.

"Nothing I can say mitigates the crime," said Levine, who plans to appeal. "Give him some hope of someday getting out. To do that is the humane thing to do."

His argument fell on deaf ears.

And this one just because I feel like gloating...

Shackled sadistic fiend Robert Williams feels tug of justice

He exercised the only power he could during the trial by refusing to attend. He remained in his cell rather than listen to the jury hand down its verdict. And he tried to do it again when it came time for his sentencing Thursday morning.

The judge made clear who was in charge when she ordered the Department of Correction to produce him. Six helmeted correction officers in body armor brought him into the 11th-floor courtroom at 2:40 p.m. He moved with them as if he were trying to avoid feeling he was in their absolute control.

He slumped into the chair as if they had not seated him there. He stuck out his legs and at one point cocked back his feet, digging in his heels.

He never once caused the chain linking one ankle with the other to go taut with the truth of who was now the prisoner.

"Give him some hope of someday getting out. To do that is the humane thing to do."

And just why the fuck do we care about being humane and giving him hope of getting out?? He was far from humane to his victim, and he NEVER gave her any hope of getting out. Why would he deserve better?

Penetrate him anally with a cattle-prod.
